What are Cosmetic Dental Treatments?

How can you find out about all the available cosmetic dental treatments to improve your smile?

The majority of us will visit the dentist once every six months and wait to hear if we need any dental work.
The majority of dentists will endeavor to help keep costs low for patients by only recommending essential work.

However, there are plenty of dental patients out there who may require minor to major cosmetic dental treatment which is often overlooked because it’s not essential and the dentist doesn’t want to be looked at trying to ‘sell’ you something. After all – we are health practitioners – not sales agents. However, this creates an unfortunate scenario where they can often improve your smile – but won’t tell you about it unless you ask. Many dentists even refrain from advertising due to the strict and stringent advertising standards they need to follow as health practitioners in Australia.

This is not to say that no dental practice advertises but that the majority limit their advertising to be safe and acceptable.

TIP: Tell your dentist what budget you have in mind, so they can tailor the cosmetic treatments available to your budget. Otherwise you may be overwhelmed at all the possible options thrown at you and your dentist prefers to be guided so they don’t give you a one hour lecture on all the options available. Trust us, there are many! Obviously, not everyone has the finances nor the time and desire for a full blown Hollywood smile makeover, but there are many cost effective options out there that will improve your smile regardless of your budget.

So ask us what can be done!

Remember we all want a beautiful smile because we first impressions last!…. A beautiful smile allows you to look younger and feel more confident about smiling- whether you’re on a family photograph or in a business meeting.
